Izzie was the star in the setting shots, racing along
the Queen's beach, chasing the waves. It took an hour or so to get maybe 10
seconds of eventual screen time.
We filmed at the plot on the first carnivorous evening
of the year - the midgies taking an early spring outing in the calm warm
evening, biting us all without fear or favour.
The view to Jura was superb and the sun set over the
Sound of Islay as we finished shooting, to the delight of the crew. Not quite as many gorgeous sunsets over
Salford docks as from Gigha.
We cooked Chinese style and ate late. Thankfully stir
frying is quick. A few bottles of Chinese beer followed and we planned the next
day's shoot.
Friday was detailed interview day. The rule of thumb
is one minute of broadcast time per hour.
It took all day. We did several takes of each segment to allow for close
ups, wide shots and cock ups.
The whole process brought back the difficult and
unhappy sequence of events of last Autumn and Winter.
All the issues were outlined and will be aired.
We'll post when transmission is due - we expect to be
featured in early Autumn.
I'm not going to spell out any more detail now.
You'll just have to wait and see.
